Use the Airport Express as a local time server
You really need to define at least four or five upstream time servers, at a bare minimum. This subject is complex, but please see the discussion at http://twiki.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/SelectingOffsiteNTPServers.
Use the Airport Express as a local time server
I'm not trying to land a man on the moon, I just want my computer to be able to tell time. If it's off by a few seconds, or even a minute or two, I'm not going to jump off any buildings.
Huh?
On my mac, I have the option under the Date and Time preference panel to have the time automatically set via time.apple.com. No Airport required. No firewall configuring required. Really, really simple.
Huh?
The original hint was to use your base station to sync to upstream time servers, and then sync local machines to your base station. This is recommended practice, as it puts lower load on the upstream time servers.
Huh?
You are technically correct - best practices would suggest multiple timeservers, but you are ignoring the fact that this community doesn't have those requirements.
Use the Airport Express as a local time server
If you want to use your base station as an NTP server, there's a good chance that it won't be able to get good time sync if you don't follow the recommendations, and if it can't get time sync then it can't provide time sync to any of your internal clients. |
